Description
Morphology
A small entrance that leads to a drop over some blocks wedged between the walls. From this point a 6-metre pit can be descended that leads to the foot of the diaclase that forms the pit. Towards one side the floor has a slight slope that descends to -12 metres, the deepest point of the cavity; in the opposite direction there is a short gallery that leads to a very earthy chamber where roots from the exterior penetrate. Set in a single diaclase with a direction of N60E-S60O.
